Dang , GOOD JOB DUDE , You got a good days fishing in for sure . I fished Isabella once like 20 years ago and I found a submerged tree and pulled my boat into the shadow and branches and caught crappie like crazy , havent caught once since and miss it bad .

Thanks it was fun. Chances are the same submerged tree is still there and its probably still loaded with crappie

Thanks, yeah your missing out not hitting the lake but your still doing pretty darn good on the river.

Nice kitty cat!

Thanks, he was quite the challenge on 4 pound line. I also caught 2 other cats on the crappie jig but they were only about 2-3 pounds each. Guess they are feeding pretty actively when you can get them on small jigs.

Cool report, that must have been a nice fight on 4 pound test. Glad you were able to get some of that crappie action, nice job.

Thanks. Yeah I was a little worried when he took off into the trees but then he just came out. Once I had him in open water it was just a matter of time.

Bassnman,
Nice report man!

BTW, thanks for directing me to the Sierra Market/Spirit gas station for the minnows.
Seems to be the only place in town that carries them
We met a guy named "Noble" who works the AM shift.
What a wealth of knowledge and super friendly

Them minnows are like candy to the crappie
Seems like the "locals" were using small silver spoons instead of tube jigs

Thanks again

Not a problem, they are actually the only place in the area that carries the minnows, all the other bait shops have closed.

As to what the "Locals" use, they all use different stuff but basically its jigs, Kastmasters, minnows and grubs. I think when the bite is "ON" pretty much everything will work.
